“We knew that the terrorist threat level was extremely high. After the #EURO2016 we must remain absolute vigilance #Nice” – France’s Interior Ministry

War on terror will ‘intensify’

Hollande also said that France would not yield in its fight against Islamic extremism.

He told reporters in Paris that France’s war on terror would “intensify in Syria as well as in Iraq” and that the French military “will continue to hit the strongholds of those who are attacking us on our own soil.”
